Daycase cataract surgery is safe and effective, with low unplanned inpatient admissions and significantly fewer late cancellations compared to traditional inpatient stays. Surgeon policies, not patient factors, influenced daycase admission rates.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Rising demand for cataract surgery strains healthcare resources.
  • Daycase admission is being reconsidered to optimize resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit daycase and inpatient cataract surgery outcomes.
  • To identify factors influencing daycase admission and surgical results.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective audit of all daycase and inpatient cataract surgeries over six months.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, surgeon policies, and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • 34% of cataract patients were admitted as daycases.
  • Surgeon policies, not patient age or travel distance, determined daycase admission rates.

  • Daycase surgery had significantly lower late cancellation rates (0.4%) versus inpatients (5.1%).
  • Unplanned inpatient admission occurred in 2.1% of daycase patients on the day of surgery, with an additional 2.1% readmitted within six months.
  • Preoperative complication rates were not affected by admission type, surgeon grade, or anesthetic used.

    • Conclusions:

    • Daycase cataract surgery is a viable option with favorable outcomes.
    • Standardizing surgeon policies could improve daycase admission efficiency.
    • Daycase admission reduces surgical cancellations without increasing immediate complications.
